Car Sounding & Driving Like A Wrx

[itshimdazza]

After a week of brr brr brr coming outa the exhaust & car shaking & driving like absolute shit.

I did the coilpack trick to no avail and eventually went to see David from DMD-Tuning as we knew the coilpacks were shot when we boosted up to 14PSI. They started to breakdown upon higher boost so we swapped them over with his 2nd hand ones he had for a tempory fix but it didnt change. removed all spark plugs and noticed one was all gunged (if such a word) up. cleaned them & put em back but still was like it had a very lumpy cam on.

he hooked up his laptop with Nistune loaded and listed to my standard (returned) ecu and one by one he disabled the coilpacks and noticed the drop in RPM until he came accross cylinder one and there was no drop in RPM..ah ha dead spark plug, replaced with a spare and now back to normal.

He's a bloody genious....

Thanks heaps Dave if you see this.................
